Dr.Guard Image

Dr.Guard is a malicious program disguised as a legitimate computer security application. Dr.Guard is a clone of the rogue anti-virus called Paladin Antivirus. Dr.Guard can be installed onto a PC when using fake online scanners, visiting malicious websites or it may come bundled with other computer parasites. Once inside a system, Dr.Guard will conduct a bogus system scan and report false computer infections to make victims think that their systems are badly infected. Victims will then be prompted to purchase the "full version" of Dr.Guard in order to remove the fabricated computer threats. Dr.Guard will attempt to disable certain security applications on an infected PC and it will also trick a victim into uninstalling legitimate security applications by marking them as infected. Do not become a victim of this scam and have Dr.Guard removed from your PC as soon as you detect it.ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot
